As the U.S. and Iran prepare for a new round of nuclear negotiations, the durability of a recently announced ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah has emerged as a key factor that could determine whether talks move forward.
US, Iran Officials Head To Switzerland For Nuclear Negotiations
White House envoy Steve Witkoff is traveling to Switzerland, where the first round of discussions on a potential U.S.-Iran nuclear agreement is expected to take place, Axios reported on Friday, citing a U.S. official.
The report said Trump envoy Jared Kushner is already in Switzerland. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is also expected to travel to the country on Saturday, although plans could still change, the report said, citing a source.
The talks were initially scheduled to begin on Friday but were delayed amid escalating clashes between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon, which raised concerns about broader regional instability.
